I Love My Dog Embroidery By Oksana Kokovkina Published by Quarry RRP: $27.99

Created by embroidery artist MakikoArt and six other embroidery artists, this ‘dog-fanciful’ collection of stitch motifs celebrates all things canine . . .

Dog-lovers — showcase your stitches and create the ultimate dog accessory with the pup-themed embroidery designs, how-tos, and templates of I Love My Dog Embroidery by MakikoArt.

With this lovely embroidery guide, you can create all manner of pups, including the sweet Labrador retriever, fluffy poodle, noble German shepherd, and many others.

There are designs for classic poses, postures, and tricks like ‘roll over,’ ‘give me your paw,’ and ‘rub my tummy’, and pooches disguised as people: the farmer, the artist, the businessman and the mailman.
